Later on they bought immovable properties in Greece and Spain, which were periodically used as places for meeting of arriving from Russia members of the criminal organization with the purpose of coordination of their actions and provision of required instructions. Also, they provided their houses and other properties at the visitors´ disposal for commitment of planned crimes.
The members of the "orekhovskaya" gang in the period from 1994 to 2000 armed themselves with illegally acquired firearms, ammunition and explosives which were later on used in commitment of crimes. According to the investigation reports, Belkin together with accomplices of crimes in the period from August 1995 to October 1998 committed murders of 27 citizens and attempted on lives of other 7 citizens. Also, members of the gang in educational purposes committed murders of those members of the same organized criminal group, who had violated the established discipline in the gang.
Furthermore, in October 1998 Belkin and members of the "orekhovskaya" gang murdered a senior investigation officer of the prosecutor's office Yury Kerez who had been investigating the criminal case instituted on the fact of organization of a criminal community and extortion of money from businessmen in the city of Odintsovo-10.
Since after commitment of the mentioned crimes Belkin disappeared from law-and-order organs, in October 1998 he was declared in the Federal search, and in February 2011he was placed into the international wanted list.
At the end of January 2011 the abode of Belkin was determined on the territory of the French Republic from where he managed to escape before the start-up of extradition procedure. However, in April 2011 he was arrested in Spain.
In May 2011 the General Prosecutor's office of the Russian Federation forwarded to the competent authorities of the Kingdom of Spain the request on extradition of Belkin which was satisfied in February 2012.
Today, accompanied by the employees of the FSIN (Federal Service of Execution of Punishment) of Russia and the Russian Bureau of Interpol, Dmitry Belkin is extradited to Russia.
